...the audio indicated that one of the pilots left the cockpit and could not re-enter.
“The guy outside is knocking lightly on the door and there is no answer,” the investigator said. “And then he hits the door stronger and no answer. There is never an answer.”
He said, “You can hear he is trying to smash the door down.”
While the audio seemed to give some insight into the circumstances leading up to the Germanwings crash, it also left many questions unanswered.
"We don’t know yet the reason why one of the guys went out,” said the official, who requested anonymity because the investigation is continuing. "But what is sure is that at the very end of the flight, the other pilot is alone and does not open the door."

If this horrific revelation proves to be what we fear it could be... it wouldn't be the first time: there was a
737 crash in 1997 that the NTSB believes was murder-suicide after the captain locked out his FO and pulled the circuit breaker on the CVR. An EgpytAir
767 went down two years later, the NTSB also believes that crash was also intentional.
